Our Mission

WOW is committed to creating an international network of people who share the vision of bringing books and children together, thereby opening windows on the world. We encourage thoughtful dialogue around international literature so that children can reflect on their own cultural experience and connect to the experience of others across the globe.

People Around the World

With more than 70 chunky flaps to explore and engaging scenes of busy people from all over the world, this book is a wonderful first introduction to different cultures and places. From a bustling modern Asian city, to a rural African village, the color and glamour of India’s Bollywood and the green calm of a small European farm-the book’s playful scenes and engaging fact-filled text combine for hands-on learning. The changing details that appear under the flaps-like a Middle Eastern man charming a snake or a treasure hunter searching for a surprise on a hot Australian Beach-will fascinate even the most hard-to-please reader for hours.
